It has been further put into my heart the importance of doing all the things that the Lord has planned for me to do. As I’ve gone though this last week, I’ve had a number of requests to extend my stay a bit longer. My answer has always been, if there is a plan and purpose of the Lord, I’ll stay. I put it up in prayer and the Lord revelaed to me that I still have a few things left. I’m not done yet.

Please continue to pray. There are things that need to be accomplished and as the anointing has increased, I’ve noticed a few challenges by the enemy of our soul. I’ve overcome all of them because of the Blood of the Lamb and Who I am in Christ Jesus ~Redeemed.

I’ve not missed any comforts of home. My love for the people here has made it feel like I’m home. They have opened up their houses to me, invited me for dinner and have offered various blessings. I’m sure that next week, I’ll wind down and get excited about coming back to the States. This has been the longest I’ve been away from “home” in my life. With out familar surroundings, faces, and things. Grace has seen me through. Divine connections have given me family. The Love of God has shown me it is all worth being away. So far this is way way way way beyond what I expected. Not just in distance, in all areas of my walk and life. God bless you all. With Love in Christ who is my life. K

Daniel and I had talked about devotions and the importance of them. He shared morning devotions with his class from a book that was provided by the school. I shared that he can ask the Lord to help him with a devotion and one would come from his heart.

So, I gave the teacher homework… Ask the Lord to illuminate to you a part of the word. Below is the first devotion he gave me. I believe that his words will touch your heart as they did mine. He’s writing about you and me…

Daniel’s devotion: An Unbroken chain.

Whenever I meet a Christian for the first time, I’m interested in learning how he came to trust Jesus as his Savior. Each person has a different story to tell, but they all testify that they learned the truth because of the efforts of others ~ their parents, pastors, Sunday school teachers, bible club leaders, friends, writers. Someone has rightly observed that the Body of Christ grows through an unbroken chain of teachers.

In today’s scripture we learn that Timothy became a believer through the influence of his grandmother Lois, his mother Eunice and the teaching of Paul. The Apostle told Timothy to become part of that faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

The Faithful Men Paul had in mind were probably church leaders, yet he was expressing a principle that applies to every believer. We had to receive the truth from someone; now it is our gracious privilege and solemn duty to transmit the truth to others.

We must keep the chain strong by telling others about Him so that the Gospel will reach to future generations.
